I get up over 405 often.

I know what you mean. I normally only get to have a real conversation early in them morning between 5-7AM. Not long after that its just how you explained. during the day I only have long QSO's on 40 or 80 meter, sometimes 160 meter.

I always use silicon based thermal grease/paste, even on my custom computer builds. You are right I have seen to many with dried up issues and also thermal paste creep which is a huge issue with exposed electrical connections because some of that stuff is conductive. ALWAYS USE SILICON BASED!!!!!!!!

I am on 37LSB, 426 in the TX Bayou

I understand, I like to make and repair all my stuff as well. I see them on eBay and Amazon but they have the wire, I dont see just the jack plug by itself. https://www.amazon.com/Cutesliving-Yaesu-CT-167-FTM-100D-FTM-200DE/dp/B0DQTW8SLS/?tag=worradfor-20

I will call again.

I am on 375 listening now.

I am in NE Texas, in the Caddo Lake Valley Bayou area

I just put out a couple calls

I will be monitoring 37LSB, 426 in the TX Bayou, Gator Tamin today, LOL

Yes, just have my analyzer connected to it. No need to put a radio on it until the antenna is right. Its an air variable like out of a Ham tube amp. Use that then measure its capacitance so its quicker with the vacuum variable. Air is just for tunning with the analyzer, Rig Expert AA-650 ZOOM.

Awesome!!!! I thought mine needed to be closer to the tin roof and not 12 inches away. I have not got to revisit this yet as I had some amps that came in for repair but I will get back to it and let y'all know. Thank you shockwave for this info, that helps for sure. I have the Rig expert AA-650...

Seen a few videos of machines like this, its pretty impressive!!!

I am already there, will be most of the day. 426 in the Texas Bayou

I fallow the solar data daily!!! Got to keep up on the HF band conditions. Love it when 80M and 15M is good.

New those are $25.00 from trucks site.

The 9530 is an upgrade for the 7530 commonly seen in the RM Italy amps. Seems like there was an export radio using the 9530 as well. Not familiar with the other two. I normally only repair 2sc2879 and blf188 amps but I have done a few RM's in the past.
